4th of July weekend

We had so much fun while Jessica and Parker were visiting!

We made a trip to the Wild Wilderness Safari in Gentry.

No matter how many times we go to this place, we ALWAYS have a fantastic time!

The peacocks are free range and I love when they open their feathers!

What a sweet kangaroo!

Hi Pumba!

"when I was a young warthog! when he was a young warthoooog!"

This chimp was a hoot!

We were lucky to be able to feed the giraffes!

Baby kittens are my absolute FAVORITE!

There were so many baby animals during our visit this time.

The emus kill me every time!

Someone was feeding the prairie dogs some Cheeto puffs!

We have so much fun, even trips to Walmart!

We had fresh corn for dinner one night and we had all of the kids shuck it!

Saturday morning, we headed to the square for one of our favorite 4th of July traditions - the bike parade!

We hope Parker will join in on the ride next year!

My precious family <3

My mom, dad and Keith drove up to have lunch with all of us!

We had very yummy food!

Tim bought a bocce game set and we all fun learning to play!

Here is my post detailing what we did on the night of the 4th!

It was a great weekend with family!

Kaylee Rutland in concert at Orchards Park for the 4th

I was financially compensated for this post. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

I hope you had a wonderful Independence Day holiday!

We spent ours with family and had the best time!

We finished the day by attending An evening at Orchards Park.

The weather was so nice!

Kaylee Rutland opened up the festivities with a concert!

She was very engaging with the crowd and very entertaining!

It was fun to hear her sing, Good day to get gone. When this song was released, Billboard magazine named her a Country Artist to Watch and she was featured on CMT.com. 

While her band played, Banjo Breakdown, she got down on the grass and danced with concert goers! People of all ages were enjoying her concert! Her band was great and they created a fun, festive environment!

I love that our town hosted an up and coming country artist. 

It gives the artist great exposure and we get the opportunity to hear quality entertainment!

 A big crowd was there as usual!

 C Girl got interviewed by a local radio station!

The fireworks show was magnificent!

It was a great ending to a great day!
